Discover how foraminifera are classified and named in this foundational reference, with detailed revisions and new genera.
This volume surveys the morphology and taxonomy of foraminifera, presenting emendations, synonymies, and the rationale behind naming changes. It includes diagnostic features, comparisons across related groups, and the reasoning scientists use to organize diverse tests into meaningful genera. The text highlights how test shape, chamber arrangement, and apertural features guide taxonomic decisions, including the creation of new genera like Racemiguembelina and Tubitextularia, and the consolidation of others.
